Both a beautiful and practical guidebook, Bradt’s Antarctica Wildlife has remained a perennial favourite with cruise voyagers to this remarkable continent and a book suitable for natural history lovers to dip into.
This guide covers Antarctica’s major land, sea and air species. Each mammal, bird or creature has been illustrated with a fine original watercolor by Dafila Scott, with a concise but descriptive passage by high-profile natural historian, Tony Soper. An ideal gift or souvenir for travelers on tour, it also makes a perfect armchair read and would grace a coffee table or library collection."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The storm-tossed Southern Ocean and the inhospitable landscape of Antarctica combine to form one of the last true wildernesses on earth. They are also home to vast numbers of animals, from the tiny shrimps of the zooplankton to the penguins, albatrosses, seals and great whales for which this extraordinary region is justly famed. In this fully revised edition of Antarctica: A Guide to the Wildlife, Dafila Scott's sensitive illustrations combine with Tony Soper's lively text to create a unique guide and a book that will give lasting pleasure. Whether you are a dedicated naturalist or an expedition member in search of a deeper understanding of the continent, this is the ideal companion.
Tony Soper is a veteran natural history presenter, film maker, lecturer and author. Dafila Scott is an artist and zoologist, member of the Society of Wildlife Artists and Scott of the Antarctic’s’ grand-daughter.
